The Choice of Life

In yesterday’s post I wrote that Christians should make our arguments emotionally convincing and appealing.  Amanda told me about some friends from FHU and their story.  I contacted her and asked if I could share her story on this site and she was happy to allow such.  Here it is!

Mabry Cate - This beautiful face was almost a statistic.

Mabry Cate – This beautiful face was almost a statistic.

Tommy and Miranda Schroader are the proud adoptive parents of Mabry Cate a precious newborn little girl who is slightly more than a month old.  Her story was recently told at the Stand for LIfe Rally in Bartlett, TN.  In fact, their picture was featured in the Commercial Appeal.

Here is what Miranda wrote about the event and Mabry Cate’s story on Facebook on Jan. 20, 2013.

Our family just left the Shelby County Right to Life Celebration where our beautiful daughter was introduced to the crowd as “a little miracle”. You see, At 14 weeks, her birth mother had chosen abortion. But thanks to our God above for interceding and putting his “Angels Among Us” literally in her path on the sidewalk to Planned Parenthood for her already scheduled abortion. Our deepest heartfelt gratitude for the team of Mobile ICU Memphis for their never ending prayer and support that helped this young mother make the decision to choose LIFE and in return, making our wildest dreams come true. We are and will be forever thankful.  (printed here with permission – JK).

Another family member named Blanda Robberts wrote this on Tuesday, January 22, 2013.

 

God was definitely in on this one! Thank you Lord for being at the abortion center on that day, and thank you for the ONE protester outside who literally had a hand in LIFE. At about 16wks the birth mother was sitting in the abortion clinic, started to fill out the paperwork but stopped.. She said something told her not to do it.. She lays the paperwork down, walks out the door and there is ONE protester outside that gave her a pamphlet w/ a nurses name and phone to call.. If all this hadn’t of happened my cousin and our family would not have this sweet baby girl in our lives! Mabry Cate is one month old now, I cant imagine our family without her in it! We are so blessed!   (printed here with permission – JK)

This story is simply incredible as it shows the truth once again that an abortion takes a human life.  Another point I want to make with this post is about birth mothers.  They are the unsung heroes who choose to bless another family and their unborn child, rather than making a selfish decision of abortion.  It is no doubt an incredibly difficult decision to decide to give up a child for adoption, but it is a decision that is so much better than the emotional scars left by an abortion.   This is the third adoption of some our friends in the last year and it is such a wonderful blessing for each family.

Praise God for this life that was saved and for these godly Christian parents that received such a blessing.
